COMMENT AND OPINION.

AS near as we can get at it, General Drum is
the Burchard of the Cleveland administration.

No credit is due President Cleveland for re-
vokine his order. He revoked it because he had
TO. not because he wanted to.-Detrolt Tribune.
WITH a copperhead President and an atti-
tucinizer of the antique for Secretary of War,
there is very little use for Phil Sheridan about
the War Department Commercial

CLEvELAND's luck seems to have taken va
cation, along with the President himself. He
caught hardly any fish in the Adirondacks. but
he is catching it all around.-New York

the President or his party. When the admins

shirt than it could take care of-Detroit Trib-
THE announcement that the Socialists intend
to enter the field of national politics is probably
not well founded, but wish it were. There
would be no better way of demonstrating the
essential weakness of movement which, by
reason of a concentration of strength in large
cities. Is apt to be exaggerated.-BostonJ Journal.
THERE is no disposition to make life unpleasant
in any way TO those who supported the Confed-
eracy and now profess to be thoroughly devoted
to the Union; but there is a fixed purpose at the
same time to perpetuate the theory that, while
both sides fought and died with unquestIoneble
courage, there was but one side that represented

come out a ardent Republican and sup
porter of john Sherman for the presidency All
of which, of course, goes to show that Rosser Is
not SO much of fool as some people take him to
be, and that he would just as lief as not 60 to

Mr.. CLEVELAND withdrew his order for the
return of the confederate flags because, as he
says, he Lad authority of law to make it.
But he nowhere admits that the order was
wreng in principle. That would have been
offensive to the people of his new-found
Confederate States" and he is not in tie
mood to apologize for his insult to the people
of the "loyal States" The inference is fair
that had the law not been in the way, he
would have returned the flags, notwithstand-
ing the overwhelming protest of the Union
soldiers and loyal people of the country.

manhood we share with them, and on which
the prosperity of the Nation is to rest here
after" There is internal evidence in this
paragraph to lead to the belief that the writer
was Southern sympathizer-at safe dis
lance from the front-during the progress of
the war, and only became Union man when
there was no longer Confederacy to sympa-
rhize with. The New York Post is the paper
to which such gentry naturally gravitate with
their contributions, knowing that such utter
ances would not be printed in respectable

WE have heretofore pointed out that the
order of the President directing the return of
captured confederate flags to the Governors of
the Southern States was distinct recognition
of the confederate government. We have
now to call attention to another performance
of the same kind by the same man in the let
ter recalling the order for the return of these
flags Says Mr.. Cleveland:
81 have to-day considered with more care
than when the subject orally presented
to me the action of your department. directing
letters to be addressed to the Governors of all
the States, offering to return, if desired, to
the loyal States the Union flags captured in
the war of the rebellion by the confederate
forces, and afterward recovered by govern
ment troops, AND TO THE CONFEDERATE
STATES the flags captured by the Union
forces" etc.
What Mr. Cleveland expects to accomplish
by recognizing in an official paper, issued in
the year 1887 the existence of confederate
States within the federal Union, must be left
to conjecture until the events of the future
shall throw their full light upon this most
extraordinary transaction. The Journal feels
warranted, however, in predicting that tho
holders of rebel bonds will find much in
Mr.. Clevelands letter to strengthen their
belief that their bonds will be paid ultimately
by the general government.

THE New York Post thinks the promulga-
ton of the Presidents order to return the
rebel flags was a surprise to Southern Gov
erpors, generals and statesmen. OF course it
was; but it does not necessarily follow, as the
Post argues. that they would not have re-
joiced secretly could such an order have been
carried out. The truth is, these gentlemen
have more political sagacity than the Presi-
dent, to say nothing of better knowledge Of

Ii is frequently asserted by those who &c
not know what they are talking about, that
there is no use of prosecuting those who vio-
late the present liquor laws of Michigan, fol
the reason, as they allege, that conviction
cannot be obtained. The records prove that
such is not the case. The official reports of
the several prosecuting attorneys of the state
made to the attorney general-of which the
NoRTHERNER recently received copy-show
that 5s4 prosecutions were instituted during
the year ending December 31st, 1886, for
violation of the liquor law, and that 357
convictions were secured. This does not
include cases of drunkenness. which are
reported under separate head, but is made
up Of ofenses committed by the saloonists
themselves. We doubt if greater per cent
of convictions Yves obtained for other o.
lenses, even the common ones o. assault and
battery, larceny or the like. This showing
certainly indicates a much greater degree Of
success in such prosecutions than has gener-
ally been understood to be the case.

follows:

From Albany, its cares and HARM
lis lonely without you, why do you not come
And see TO the things on the farm?
You told me when you were elected last fall,
II would but once let you 60.
You surely would come ere the winter gone
OF course believed it was so.
Husband, dear husband, come home to me now
I'm smiling the odors of spring;
You've stayed long enough in the capital there,
You're much safer under my wing.
the old horse is paving in the stable like mad
The colts in terrible stew,
The small brindle heifer has got white calf
And the cattle are bawling for you.
Husband, dear husband, come home to me now,
I'd like to observe what you're at;
When will you get through with your bills and re-
solves,
And speeches by this one and that?
Your mileage is paid by the longest way round
Between the state house and your home
No matter, my dear, don't travel that way,
But take the short cut when you come.
The voice Of your Betsey is calling you, dear,
It's nearly the time 10 make soap;
And some of the women are saying, my love,
I'm giving you quite too much rope;
They say there is desperate flirting up there
With widows and maids not few.

But, Davis, how is it with you?

A LITTLE discussion arose between County
Treas BUTLER and Lawyer THOMAS IF South
Haven, as to whether the law required q
justification of the sureties on a druggists
bond. Mr. BUTLER wrote to Attorney Cen
eral TAoGART, who gave it as his opinion
that such justification was not required.
With all due Difference to the Hon. Mr..
TAGGART. the NoRrHERNER don't believe his
judgment in the premises is correct A
clause in the statute regulating the liquor
traffic reads as follows: There shall also
be annexed to each bond required dy THIS act
an affidavit of each surety thereto, which
affidavit shall state that the afliant Is worth
a sum equal to the amount of the bond, over
and above all Indebtedness and exemptions
from sale on executions and all liability on
similar bonds" AS the above clause is n
part of the act for the regulation of the
sale of liquors by druggists as we'll as by
saloons, it would seem that "all bonds re-
CURED by this act' must include druggists
as well as saloon bonds, and such was the
view taken by the county treasurer.

What Shall We Do about Itq

There was no paper in Michigan that
labored with more zeal than the TRUE NORTH
ERNER to secure constitutional prohibition,
and it is ready to pursue the same course
again whenever the opportunity shall present
itself. It knows that such measure is
ardently desired by very large portion of
the voters of Michigan; indeed, it has no
doubt that majority of the people of the
state, including our mothers and wives, sis
tiers and daughters, who are as deeply inter
ested in the matter as the voters, are decid-
edly in favor of such a measure. And il also
believes that the happiness and prosperity of
the people and the welfare of the state would
be best subserved by ENGRAVING absolute
prohibition in the constitution.
But, at the present time, such thing has
been placed beyond our reach. 1t must be
years, at the very least, before the question
can again be submitted to vote of the peo-
ole. and the question TO be decided the
practical question of the hour, is what is tn
best course to pursue noo in the matter (

NOBODY contends that the short lines of
railroads can afford to carry passengers for
two cents a mile, nor does anybody ask that
they be compelled to do so. What the peo-
pie want, what they have a right to expect
and what they demand of their representa-
tives is that the great trunk lines shall carry
rs cheaply in Michigan as they do in New
York. Two cents mile is ample now if
three cents was fair price twenty years ago.
If the people don't get the reduction they
are asking for, they will have right to
think and will think that it is owing, in some
degree at least, to the fact that the Legislative
pocketbook is bullying with passes.

The capital punishment bill that passed the
Michigan house of representatives was killed
in the senate by striking out all after the
enacting clause. Undoubtedly that was the
best disposition to make of it. While there
are some aggravated crimes for which people
are apt to think even hanging is an made
quate punishment, return to the death
penalty is repugnant to the advancing civil
ization of the age.
